World Marriage Day celebrated at The Holy Family Minor Basilica.

On Sunday 11th February 2017, married couples celebrated World Marriage Day at The Holy Family Minor Basilica. Mass was led by His Eminence John Cardinal Njue.

He encouraged the married couples to pray and stick together. "We all know how many difficulties and trials spouses face. What is important is to keep alive a bond with God, who is the foundation of the matrimonial bond. Marriages are stronger when husbands and wives pray for each other and with each other," said His Eminence.

His Eminence urged the couples who have not yet solemnised their marriage in the church, to do so. He added that in a sacramental marriage, God’s love becomes present to the spouses in their total union and also flows through them to their family and community.
